Notes
Other Variations!
Alter this recipe to your liking. Feel free to try other alternatives that are mentioned below.
- Gluten-free oats can be swapped with regular oats.
- I have used coconut oil. I think it adds a perfect nutty taste to granola. Not a coconut lover, substitute it for butter.
- Take it to a whole new level by adding other ingredients like walnuts, raisins, cranberries or dried apricots.
